March 2006 For centuries, sailors have told tales of sea monsters with massive tentacles. But it was only recently that a giant squid was actually filmed. One man has spent his life tracking the elusive creatures. When his large, powerful yacht slowed to a virtual stop, Olivier de Kersauson knew he had a problem. "I saw two arms, twice the size of my arm, grabbing the rudder." A giant squid had got caught in the propeller. "It had a lot of power and started to shake the boat." It was a sight Dr Steve O'Shea would love to have witnessed. For over 30 years he's been chasing the rare creatures. But recently, he's become aware of a disturbing trend. "Squids are incredibly good barometers of environmental health", he explains. "If I go back 10 years, I had 23 giant squids in one year. Now, because of the intensity of fishing, it's tailed down to one a year." Produced by SBS/Dateline Distributed by Journeyman Pictures. + Informações

I'm uploading this again because Giant Squid is an incredible underground band that deserves some attention. YouTube improperly flagged my previous upload of this as belonging to SME -- in reality the band was signed to The End Records. I disputed it, yet the video still wasn't made public. If they block it again, I will dispute it again. I will continue to do it until they go insane. I'm calling you out, nerds.. + Informações

(Reuters) Jul. 11 - A giant squid has been sparking excitement among scientists presented with a rare opportunity to examine an specimen of the rarely-seen deep ocean species. The creature was found by a walker on Ocean Beach, near Strahan, on the western coast of island state Tasmania. The mantle or main body of the giant squid measured two metres (6.5 feet) long. The tentacles had been badly damaged, so the overall length of the animal could not be determined, a Tasmania Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman said. Scientists believe giant squid usually live at deep ocean depths of between 200-700 metres and that they gather along Australia's continental shelf in cold mid-winter waters to feed on Grenadier fish. The squid are hunted by sperm whales migrating north from the Southern Ocean. Last year fishermen off the Falkland Islands caught a giant squid measuring 8.62 metres.. + Informações

This is Aaron Gregory, singer/guitarist of the band Giant Squid. I also work at the AQUARIUM OF THE BAY in San Francisco as a profesional diver. Today (6-27-08) a man who has been installing video equipment at the aquarium for the last several days, popped into our husbandry office and asked if we could possibly identify a "creature" that his friend, who works on an oil rig, caught on tape from an ROV. He described a manta ray like thing with 30ft tentacles!! He wasn't far off as you can see for your self. It doesn't get much more alien than this. I just identified it as belonging to the species Magnapinna, or Big Fin squid, though this one is more commonly known as the Long Arm Squid. They get as big as 5 meters! Take special note of the depth! 7828ft. Enjoy everyone!!. + Informações

Here's a great video of kids catching a 35-40 lb Humboldt Squid off the coast of La Jolla, CA in March 2007. The squid, normally caught at night, were caught in the morning in the deep waters off San Diego at a depth of about 200 ft. They were caught on white/glow in the dark iron with treble hooks. On this day, we released 9 squid, and kept 3 to eat. Dear animal (fish) rights activists including PETA members: We eat fish and squid. What we catch and don't plan on eating, we throw back into the ocean. After we brought this squid on board, it was SLAPPED for a biology experiment for kids to see if it changed colors, which it did. (Squid are equipped with photophores, bioluminescent light organs that function as camouflage, luring prey, reproduction, communication, or other yet undiscovered uses. ) Just after the video ended, the head and tentacles were then cut off and the body was filleted. We enjoyed eating the squid that night after panko breading and deep-frying with lemon and tartar sauce. Also, if you're thinking that these squid are going to be extinct, you're wrong.
